Im new

[Cathy L]

I'm new to having chickens. I have a group of 7 chicks that are 7 weeks old. They stay in the coop run all day and bring them in to a brooder at night. (Will have my electric fence put up in a few days, so will stay out at night then in the coop).Yesterday I noticed one all puffed up, lethargic, and not eating. I thought it was because of weather being cold,windy and rainy. But is the same way today. I started them on Corid today. I'm using a syringe to give some of the treated water but not sure she's drinking much. Any suggestions on what I'm doing?. And how soon will I see improvement ?

Hi and welcome to BYC. I would not like to second-guess the possible causes. I’m sure others will be along to advise.

Welcome to BYC. Any sign of blood in the feces. My initial reaction would have been to treat as you presently are.

Hello, Cathy, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Instead of giving them the Corid water orally, drench them each with 1/4 ml of undiluted Corid once daily for 3 days. Do this in addition to having only Corid water available to drink.
You'll see improvement within 2 days if you drench them.
